OCD

My symptoms include:

  • The dislike and discomfort of using mismatched cutlery
  • The need to place (almost) everything on coasters
  • The tendency to wash hands pretty often
  • The need to use tissues or napkins really often — when I’m out of the house, for wiping dirt off seats, table tops, cutlery before use, my mouth after eating, to blow my nose since I have sinuses sometimes, to use in public loos when the’ve run out of toilet paper, etc, etc. I have 5 to 10 small packets of pocket tissue in my bag at any one time. They’re my safety blanket.



Due to my mental health struggles, I have problems earning a stable income. In order to help myself financially, this post may contain affiliate links.
